Re: Interesting TIME article on our favorite detective
I agree, Rush. Appreciate your response.
I just read yet another article on Mr. Huang's book on the NPR website today. I quote here an excerpt on why he wrote the book: "The mystery of Charlie Chan is as deep as any "Confucius say." I have had to unravel it by tracing several dry streams to the source of long dormant wells. It wasn't hard to get them roiling again, like an old and faithful geyser in the American psyche that dependably gives insult. The clues I found in these backwaters would not always converge, but I have come to see this as the true nature of American legends: they need something foreign to make them live again."
I have added this book to my Amazon wish list. For us Chan fans, it appears to be a good read.
